Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006054190A1] A short-range ad-hoc network (20) of wireless medical devices (22, 24, 26, 28) intercommunicating by a short-range wireless technology are synchronized with official date and time information provided by a time server (70) residing in a medical infrastructure network (32). A time-control device (28, 66) synchronizes its clock (60', 60") with the time server. A selected wireless medical device (22) of the wireless short­range network (20) wirelessly connects with the time control device using the short-range wireless communication protocol and synchronizes a clock (60) of the selected wireless medical device with the clock of the time-control device. The latter wireless connecting and the synchronizing is repeated to synchronize the clocks of each wireless medical device of the short-range network.
